Wanderings of a soprano, sometimes alto, choral singer turned mom

It has been 6 months since I last posted anything here in my blog. A lot has happened, a lot has changed, not.

I have learned a lot this year, though the end of this year is still 2 months away. I discovered that I have a tendency to overlook the most important people and things in my life. That happened because I was too consumed in becoming the best in what I am doing, in biting more than I can chew, in always saying yes. I’m just thankful that E understood me and that he even assured me that whatever happens he’ll stay by my side.

I felt a bit guilty as well because I wasn’t spending as much time as I can with my mom. Though she’s getting better now, I know that she still needs somebody to push her to get back to her feet and be the mom she was before. I can’t help but admit that it’s hard to see her like this, but at least she’s getting better. I just have to reach this balance with my mom wherein she wouldn’t be too dependent on me and my brother. That she will just see that we’re here for her, but that she needed to also bounce back and be independent.

Things are getting better (and I’m seriously hoping that this whole work-life balance will last). And I am looking forward to 2014 hoping that it will be better than 2013.
